A FLYING squad of tax inspectors swooped on a harbour hotel yesterday as unsuspecting guests tucked into breakfast.

Vehicles screamed into the car park at 8.15am and a dozen HMRC officers piled into the premises.

Their target was the family-run Crusoe Hotel in the village of Lower Largo in the East Neuk of Fife. One startled onlooker thought it was a police raid as some of the tax team appeared to be wearing flak jackets.
